An analytical report on the fluctuation of the price of fish products will be uploaded to the NFDB website every week
The Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying through the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) is implementing a Fish Market Price Information System (FMPIS) for collecting price details of different commercially important fish species from different fish markets. Based on these details, an analytical report is uploaded to the NFDB website every week.
The information was given by the Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Parshottam Rupala in the Loksabha.
The move will aim to promote the trading of commercially important fish species. FMPIS facilitates better marketability (fisher/seller) and accessibility (consumer/buyer).
Fish is a perishable item and the price of fish products is market-driven and dependent on several factors like demand, the arrival of fish in the market, fish size, species, type, season, accessibility, consumption pattern and region etc.
